Post-Quake News

by Patrick Newman (Mar 16, 2011)

With northern Japan still not out of the woods, baseball has
rightfully taken a backseat in the news. But there is already news about
the charitable activity of NPB players, as well as discussion about
when NPB's season should begin, and I'd like to share those items
tonight. No opinion here, just news.

Not everyone is in favor of the idea. Notably, Hanshin outfielder Tomoaki Kanemoto has published a lengthy commentary against the idea
in Nikkan Sports. His point is that it's "not an environment where we
can inspire courage," pointing out that dead bodies are still being
found, and people are still lacking food, water and electricity.
